Only finding 184 servers???HELP!!!

[djs7795]

I have benn playing bf2 with sf for months now with no trouble and usually would have 800 or more servers. Now all of a sudden for like a week i get 184 servers and then it sits and spits out a few more and then stops. my filters are the same as they allways were. ANY IDEAS, ITS ****ING OFF thanks

Try removing things from your filters. Like uncheck populated, or other things that might narrow your search. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

This type of behavior generally occurs if you are having an internet connection problem. (And if you are having a problem with your upload path, general web surfing may not readily indicate to you that you are having a problem.)

Your profile doesn't state where you live, so I won't provide any links, but do a speed test of some sort and verify that both your download and upload (JUST AS IMPORTANT!) speeds are okay.

If your connection is fine, then I don't know. Sorry.

also nVIDIA firewall screws up server browsers in almost all games ^_^

That depends on what speeds you are supposed to be getting. If you are paying for 4 Mbps downstream and 384 Kbps upstream, then yeah, your connection is fine. If you are supposed to be at 768 kbps upstream, then you have a problem and should contact your ISP. ;)

Assuming your speeds are okay, then maybe it's like sackynut stated (indirectly) and it's a router problem, like maybe it's going flaky. :p You could try temporarily connecting your modem directly to your computer, though the change in MAC address may cause your ISP to downgrade you--depends on the ISP. (I have my router shadow my workstation's MAC address so I personally will not have this problem, but you may not have.)

Anyway, as I stated in my first post, if it's not your speeds, then I really don't know. :(
